Being at this shelter with my children for several months was a huge life changer for me. I use to be materialistic and down people that couldn't get their life together. All that change when I saw myself in their shoes. This shelter may me realize no one is better than the next. This shelter has taught me gratitude, humbleness, and humanitarianism. It help me overcome my obstacles and help me become a better a person. Here I am, four years later, after leaving the shelter, doing better than I ever did before. I have a great job working for the city government, have a nice place, and will be starting school in January. NOWCS wasn't the experience I looked forward to but so thankful I went through this program.

The support, reassurance, and care that my family received while in this shelter will never be forgotten. This was more of a home to my family and every staff member there was our family. They showed support through numerous ways and they did not ask for much in return. My family is vegan and they even catered as best they could to our lifestyle. We were here for three weeks and from day one never felt out of place. The chores were easy and house rules were simple. We’ve been checked on numerous times since leaving this shelter and we will be forever grateful for their kind gestures. They gifted my baby girl and I with clothes and necessities for our new home on our way out and honestly made me feel like a brand new woman starting a brand new chapter of my life. They gave my family hope that good things can happen for good people. I changed in just three weeks, I opened myself up to these women and they heard our call for help and with no judgement they moved quickly to get things going. My husband, baby girl, and I will forever be grateful and will recommend this shelter to anyone who is in need of help. They got your back 100 percent of the way. Thank you Thank you Thank you to the lovely women and men who took care of us in our time of need, forever grateful. ?

My family will forever be indebted to the N.O. Women & Children shelter. We got into the program not knowing what our next step would be, feeling very depressed and hopeless. Being the man of my family and needing to have my wife and child in a safe. I wasn't sure of that the first days being in the shelter, Ms. Camilla and Mrs. D recognized my stress and reassured me that things would be better. Well they did not let me down. They made sure my wife and child were very safe and taken care of while I worked. My family has a vegan diet and Mrs. D made sure we had food to fit our lifestyle. Ms. Dawn and the staff were always concerned about our well being and made sure we had clothing and anything else we needed. Three weeks after staying there, we were placed into the perfect home for our family and are still receiving random necessities from the staff. I have to give love to every single staff member there. They made EVERYTHING comfortable as possible for us. This shelter is a such a necessity for the city of New Orleans. My family will always be a phonecall away from anything they need.For all those that left bad reviews, I'm very sorry for your experience. For all those that read those reviews, please get you own experience of this shelter. All that is asked of residents is structure. Be clean, be respectful, be inside at curfew (exception made for work), and do your assigned chores (everyday cleanup). You get and safe, child friendly, welcoming and loving environment for you and your family to live in until you can be placed in a home of your own. These women and this entire program deserve all the praise and more. I LOVE EVERYONE INVOLVED AND I THANK YOU FOR MAKING A WAY FOR MY FAMILY.

I truly love and adore what the shelter has done for me and my family.... First of all the shelter is very clean and comfortable. They provide mostly everything you need while you are there food, hygiene products bed sheets and etc.. The staff is very friendly and helpful at all times. I feel very safe and at home at my stay at the shelter. They are there for you in hard times and I appreciate everything that they did for me and my family especially during this crazy pandemic. ??❤

Just tried stopping by the Shelter today to say hello to all the staff but forgot we are social distancing. Just wanted to say Thanks again for everything NOWCS has helped me with and being able to maintain stability in my home. NOWCS welcomed me with open arms 3 years ago along with my 4 children and I was able to successfully gain employment immediately after by using all resources that was given to me by staff. This place has really changed my life and since then many blessings has come. I really just want to say Thanks again for all the Love and Support ❤️

It is bs that this shelter got the reviews that they got. As a familyman that fell on hard times, I cant put in words as much of a heaven sent that the staff and this facility were for me and my family. Their program is to help families get back up on their feet and to maintain that for the future to come. Their program is fail proof as long as you follow it. The staff will always be some of the sweetest people you will ever meet. A blessing indeed.

The case worker started out very pleasant but when I could not comply with her demand, she became very rude and disrespectful. I have little knowledge of the rest of the staff but encourage them to treat others as they would want to be treated if found in similar circumstances.
